Football super ace shooter

That night, Van Kerry accompanied head coach Mourinho at the FPA headquarters to receive the silver trophy from the president, and then hitchhiked back to the Lowry Hotel to prepare for the 2016-2017 Europa League final.

The Europa League final kicked off at 8:45 pm European time on the 24th. Manchester United's 18 players, relevant staff and five missing players due to injuries, including Ibrahimovic, Luke Shaw, Bailly and Ronaldo, Huo and Ashley Young took a flight to Stockholm, the Swedish capital, on the afternoon of the 22nd, and their opponent Ajax arrived that evening.

The two teams came to the city where the Europa League final was held, and also announced that the countdown to the Europa League final has entered the countdown stage.

Van Kerry is confident in the final. His former teammates De Ligt, Frenkie de Jong, Van de Beek and others are worried. They are obviously worried that Van Kerry will perform well and lead Manchester United to win the final championship.

Ajax head coach Bosz is experienced and aware of problems with the players' mental outlook. His focus has shifted from tactical drills to focusing on the players' mentality accordingly.

The club's top management was very efficient, and the professional psychological counselor they hired arrived at the Ajax hotel half a day later.

Overcome fear and anyone can become fearless!

The Manchester United players who arrived at the hotel did not have the same psychological barriers as the Ajax players. They were united and came to Stockholm to win the Europa League, which has never been won in the club's history!

Mourinho has rich coaching experience, has won many championships, and is very accurate in reading people. He knows that the players are now full of confidence. He only needs to eliminate the players' carelessness, and there will be no Europa League finals at the Friendship Arena. Accident.

The next morning, the entire Manchester United team took the bus provided by the organizing committee to the Friendship Arena in Stockholm. Head coach Mourinho took Pogba to the press conference hall to participate in the regular pre-match press conference. Other players were assistant coaches. Under the leadership of Faria, he adapted to the playing field.

The Friendship Arena is the largest football stadium and indoor football stadium in Northern Europe. It can accommodate 56,000 fans, but if a concert is held, the audience can be increased to 65,000. This stadium is also the home stadium of the Swedish national team and AIK Football Club.

It is worth mentioning that Ibrahimovic scored the famous overhead kick goal of the century at this stadium. It is a pity for Swedish fans that Ibrahimovic missed the rest of the season due to injury early on. tournament, otherwise this stadium is likely to be Manchester United's home stadium!

It was precisely for this reason that Mourinho invited Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was recovering from injury, to come to the final venue to advance and retreat with the team.

According to external media reports, no tickets for the Europa League final were sold out early. In addition to Manchester United's great reputation, it was largely because of Ibrahimovic.

Closer to home, although the Friendship Arena hosting the Europa League final is a UEFA four-star stadium, the equipment and configuration are comparable to UEFA five-star stadiums. According to the staff, the exterior wall lighting can be adjusted according to the colors of the participating teams’ jerseys. changes to create a better game atmosphere.

The quality of the pitch's turf is comparable to UEFA's five-star stadium Old Trafford, and the players' experience adapting to the playing surface is great.

Van Kerry is in very good condition. Assistant coach Faria sees this and nods lightly, confident in the Europa League final at this stadium tomorrow night.

The Ajax team was adapting to the venue in the afternoon. Ajax head coach Bosz, who attended the regular pre-match press conference with a heavy face, politely complimented Manchester United on their amazing achievements in the Premier League in the past 2016-2017 season. , and even said that Manchester United has a high probability of winning the Europa League final.

None of the reporters in the press conference hall were fools. They could easily hear Bosz's active display of weakness in the hope that Manchester United would relax their vigilance.

Only if Manchester United underestimate their opponent, Ajax will have a chance to win the Europa League.

Bosch naturally did not completely inflate the opponent's ambition and destroy his own prestige. He also said that the team has the strength to fight.

Finally, according to questions from media reporters, he talked about Van Kerry, who moved to Manchester United last summer:"Kerry's performance was unparalleled. Originally, I was worried that he would lack opportunities to play at Manchester United. It turned out that my worries were unnecessary. His talent is too strong. At this point, he shrugged and said meaningfully:"If he stays in Ajax for one season, I don't think the team will need to worry about the Europa League finals anymore, and his transfer value will definitely rise by at least Twice."

This was actually meant for the club's senior management. He had already realized Van Kerry's talent and wanted to stay at Ajax for one more season. The transfer fee of 40 million euros will start at least 100 million euros this summer, and whoever pays the highest price will The kind that deserves it.

Of course, Bosz's statement is open to question. It is a consensus that the Eredivisie cannot be compared with the Premier League. The influence is there. Even if Van Carey stays at Ajax until this summer, his worth will not rise to 100 million euros. The maximum is between 60 million and 80 million euros. After all, Manchester United's international influence and Premier League opponents are there.

Mourinho did not take it lightly because of Ajax coach Bosz's proactive display of weakness. On the contrary, he carefully focused on game preparations and tactical adjustments.

Although Manchester United has a great hope of winning the game, it does not mean that it is 100% sure to win the championship.

Time passed very quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the afternoon of the 2016-2017 Europa League final.

The entire Manchester United team set off from their hotel two and a half hours in advance. There was still about an hour and a half before the start of the game. The starting lineups of both sides of the game were known to the world.

Ajax's formation, which was drawn by the home team, is a traditional 433, with goalkeeper Onana, defenders Ledwald, De Ligt, Davinson Sanchez and Weltmann, midfielders Ziyech, Schone and Klassen, forwards Younes, Dolberg and Bertrand Traore.

Manchester United's formation is the 4231 currently popular in international football, with goalkeeper Romero, defenders Blind, Smalling, Fosu-Mensah and Valencia, double midfielder Herrera partnering Pogba, forward Van Kerry, Mata and Martial, Rashford is at the front of the striker.

At the same time, players from both sides of the match came out of their respective locker rooms and walked to the Friendship Arena to warm up.

Fan Kerry looked around and found that about 60% of the auditorium was already occupied, and it was still filling up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Kerry!"

Someone tapped him on the shoulder.

Van Carey turned around and saw it was his best friend De Ligt. Behind him were smiling Frenkie de Jong and Van de Beek and other former Ajax teammates. He smiled and stretched out his arms. He held out his right hand, shook hands one by one, and reminisced about old times while walking.

De Ligt, who made his first debut, put his arms around Van Kerry's neck and whispered:"Kerry, please forgive me.""

"You know, I don't even know my relatives when it comes to competition."

Van Kerry patted De Ligt on the shoulder with his backhand and changed the topic:"At the end of this summer, do you have any idea of ​​transferring to Manchester United and forming a Dutch gang with me, Virgil and Daley?"

"Can you add me?"

Before De Ligt spoke, Van der Beek couldn't wait to say.

"you?"

Van Kerry said with a half-smile:"Are you going to Manchester United to show me and Matthijs the water dispenser?"

Van der Beek:"……"

Dericht fell silent, and Van Kerry patted him on the shoulder again, smiling:"We will discuss this after the game is over. Let's go, I have to warm up."

Looking at Van Kerry's retreating back, Dericht felt something in his heart. A little bit of expectation...
